Backdoor (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In computing, a backdoor is a hidden method for bypassing normal authentication systems. In serialized fiction, a backdoor is a writing technique in which the writer provides a possible solution to reverse any potentially unpopular decision that's currently being done (such as killing off a popular recurring character). In Jazz Music Theory, a Backdoor Progression is a characteristic harmonic device found in many Jazz Standards. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Backdoor_(disambiguation)   (252 words)

The Difference Between a Virus, Worm and Trojan Horse? Trojans are also known to create a backdoor on your computer that gives malicious users access to your system, possibly allowing confidential or personal information to be compromised. The most common blunder when the topic of a computer virus arises is that people will often refer to a Worm or Trojan Horse as a Virus. People continue the spread of a computer virus, mostly unknowingly, by sharing infecting files or sending e-mails with viruses as attachments in the e-mail. www.webopedia.com /DidYouKnow/Internet/2004/virus.asp   (1213 words)

Trojan horse (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In practice, Trojan Horses in the wild often contain spying functions (such as a packet sniffer) or backdoor functions that allow a computer, unbeknownst to the owner, to be remotely controlled from the network, creating a "zombie computer". The term is derived from the classical myth of the Trojan horse. Trojan horse programs cannot operate autonomously, in contrast to some other types of malware, like viruses or worms. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing)   (1499 words)

Smart Computing Article - Tales Of Trojan Horses First, a backdoor Trojan opens a system to outside access so a cracker can control the computer remotely from her computer. When a Trojan horse arrives as an email attachment, the message might claim that the attachment is something intriguing, such as a cool screen saver, a program update, or a fun game. Because today's Trojan horses are likely to arrive as part of a blended threat, they tend to be more dangerous than those that lurked five or 10 years ago. www.smartcomputing.com /editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/l0902/03l02/03l02.asp   (3745 words)

In February, a BBC News story suggested that the British government was in discussions with Microsoft over backdoor access to the operating system. Backing up your Operating System and data is an essential step in computing. hardocp.com   (2587 words)

Computing Papers on Hacker ethic The hacker accomplishes this by the installation of some type of software known as a backdoor or a Trojan. It is argued that hacker expertise is needed because a knowledge gap has developed in the computer security industry as computer programming has moved from a craft-based practice to a scientific approach. When they were shared among hackers, they came with enculturation to the hacker ethic and other pro-social, if not legal, subcultural values. computing.breinestorm.net /hacker+ethic   (1825 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/National Security Agency The suspicions were that a critical component — the so-called S-boxes — had been altered to insert a "backdoor"; and that the key length had been reduced, making it easier for the NSA to discover the key using massive computing power. The origins of the National Security Agency can be traced to an organization originally established within the Department of Defense, under the command of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as the Armed Forces Security Agency (AFSA), on May 20, 1949. Headquarters for the National Security Agency is at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, approximately ten miles (16 km) northeast of Washington, DC. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/NSA   (1485 words)

Current Research Projects For computationally intensive testing, software was written to support distributed computing of such testing by utilizing idle machines in a network and by utilizing the parallel computer MUSIC from the Electronics Laboratory. Some techniques for finding a backdoor in an S-box were found, suggesting that it may be impossible to hide the existence of an effective partition-pair in an invertible S-box having only a small number of inputs and outputs. Other applications might be the automatic classification of background noise to adapt a hearing aid to a change in its acoustical environment or the classification of environmental sounds in security and surveillance systems. www.isi.ee.ethz.ch /isiworld/isi/jb95/research.html   (1485 words)

worm blog: papers Computer worms, autonomous programs which can spread through a computer network, represent a substantial threat to our computing infrastructure.
